Woven Wire Mesh, Stainless Steel, various apertures (0.5mm-5mm wire diameter)
Corrosion-resistant woven metal mesh with apertures ranging from 0.5mm to 5mm, primarily used for bushfire protection, architectural screening, and industrial filtration in Australian construction.
Corrosion-resistant woven metal mesh with apertures ranging from 0.5mm to 5mm, primarily used for bushfire protection, architectural screening, and industrial filtration in Australian construction.
High-performance stainless steel woven wire mesh manufactured by interlacing longitudinal (warp) and transverse (weft) wires in various patterns. Available in austenitic grades 304 (standard) and 316 (marine grade) with enhanced molybdenum content for superior chloride resistance. Wire diameters range from 0.5mm to 5mm with corresponding apertures from 0.1mm to 50mm, offering open areas from 20% to 85% depending on specification.
